Latvian weightlifter Rebeka Ibrahima totalled 211 kilograms in the under-61 kg class at the World Championships in China and is 13th after Group B. Group A is still to compete.
Latvian weightlifter Rebeka Ibrahima (formerly Koha) is in 13th place after the Group B session of the World Weightlifting Championships in China on Sunday. The standing is not final, as the stronger Group A has yet to compete.
Ibrahima competes in the under-61 kilogram weight class. Her combined total across the two lifts was 211 kilograms: 96 in the snatch and 115 in the clean and jerk. That puts her 13th before Group A begins, with ten more athletes still to lift.
Snatch
In the snatch, the Latvian successfully lifted 96 kilograms on her first attempt. She failed to lift 98 kilograms in her next two attempts. In Group B, this was the fifth-best snatch result.
Clean and jerk
In the clean and jerk, Ibrahima lifted 115 kilograms on her first attempt and then declined to take her remaining two attempts.
What comes next
The Group A athletes will start at 13:00 Latvian time. That will determine her final placing in the weight class. The World Championships in China conclude next Sunday.
